But did you know skateboarding is just as popular? Next time you’re driving along our shore communities, look around and you’ll see plenty of skateboarders having the time of their lives!

Have you ever tried SKATEBOARDING?! All it took was for someone to put four wheels underneath a piece of wood, and a whole new culture and way of life was born. Skateboarding was officially born in 1958 on days surfers couldn’t catch a wave. Many years later, skateboarding has grown to be a national sport with thousands of fellow skateboarders across the world, professional and amateur. It’s a big deal here at the Jersey Shore!

As a skateboarder, it greatly influenced my childhood and has given me many great memories. I started skateboarding on my 13th birthday when my parents bought me my first plastic ramp. I remember taking my skateboard out with my friend. All day we cruised up and down this ramp getting the feel for the skateboard, not knowing it would eventually grow into a passion of ours.

Learning my first few tricks, such as a “pop shuvit” and a “kickflip”, truly fueled my addiction to the art of skateboarding. There is no better feeling than learning a new trick because it takes no less than a thousand tries to fully understand how to flip your board. When you finally get two feet back on that board, the feeling of accomplishment is like none other.

At the Jersey Shore, there are so many areas to go skateboarding and be a part of this culture. The Seven Presidents Skateplex in Long Branch is the perfect place to jump on your board and have a great time. This skate park has just been recently renovated into a beautiful, user-friendly skate plaza right alongside the beach. Skateboarding with a view of the ocean? What’s better than that?! The park also offers lessons during the warmer months of the year, so if you want to try it out people are here to help! Professional skateboarders such as Tom Asta and Chaz Ortiz have skated this park.

We went out and asked a Brucie Juska, 31, about his thoughts on the park and his favorite parts about skateboarding. He told ShoreTV NJ, “I first stepped on a skateboard when I was 3-years old and really started taking it seriously when I was 10. My favorite part about skateboarding is the feeling of freedom it provides and of course, landing new tricks”. We asked what his favorite part about this specific skate park was and Brucie said: “The bowl is by far my favorite part about the park. I can literally only skate that part all day. There are endless tricks to learn”. In fact, check this out! Watch Brucie skate his favorite bowl!

Check out this video by ShoreTV New Jersey’s resident surfer Zach. He captured this scene in Allenhurst.

The storm brings with it dangerous rip currents and beach erosion. Stay safe!

The reason? The vineyard, owned by the Casola Family in Holmdel, won the Governor’s Cup for Best Grape Wine in New Jersey in the recent NJ Wine Competition. The competition is run by the Garden State Wine Growers Association and organized by Dr. Gary Pavlis of Rutgers.

New Jersey Winery of the Year and Governor’s Cup Winners were honored at the New Jersey Statehouse on June 15, 2017.

Fox Hollow Vineyards, which opened just over a year ago, won the gold medal for Best Vinifera Wine and the Governor’s Cup for their 2014 Cabernet Franc. The awards were presented at a special ceremony at the Statehouse in Trenton.

Centrally located on 94 acres in Holmdel, Fox Hollow Vineyards is owned and operated by the Casola Family, Tony and Kim and son Joe, 6th generation farmers who decided to diversify into vineyards and wine making for future generations. Joe Casola is the winemaker. His philosophy as a winemaker is to allow the grapes to really mature prior to harvest and let them show themselves what kind of wine they will be, to allow the grapes to be self-expressive, indicative of where they are grown. He believes in minimal interference in the processing of the grapes into wine and lets them express the characteristics from the area. This process allows them to tell him what type of wine they will be.

​The winery is open Friday, Saturday & Sunday from 11am – 6:30pm.

But they want you to know—there are many options to be the most beautiful you. In fact, their patients range in age from 20 to 80, both men and women.

Find out the top surgical and non-surgical procedures patients are opting for. And most importantly, find out helpful information for deciding which plastic surgeon is right for you.

For many of us, coffee is an important part of our daily routines. Finding great coffee is sometimes a hassle, and you don’t want to always settle for that $2 cup from the gas station from the pot that has been sitting out since 6 am. For staying sane on any given Monday, I took to the road to find some of the best coffee brewers on the Jersey Shore.

Rook Coffee

Rook has an incredible reputation for having some of the freshest and some of the most exotic beans for their coffee. Their coffee ranges from mild, medium, to dark and has a good amount of options in each. In the mild section, I’ve found my favorite to be the Costa Rican blend. Rook describes it as having a dark chocolate taste with a hint of orange zest and honey, which sounds unusual but is quite the delightful cup of joe.

I personally love a dark cup of coffee and always go for the same blend at Rook, Bali. It’s a dark chocolate and ripe strawberry blend of coffee that hits you right where you need to get your day started. It’s a cup of coffee that certainly packs a punch, but is very tolerable thanks to an incredible blend of flavors.

For all coffee flavors and descriptions, visit rookcoffee.com. If you would like to visit Rook to try their coffees, they have locations in Oakhurst, Long Branch, Little Silver, Wall, Red Bank, Manalapan, Colts Neck, Monmouth Medical Center and Holmdel.

Inkwell Coffeehouse

The Inkwell Coffeehouse has been around for a very long time, and is still a very popular spot in Long Branch. It’s a very low key spot with a hipster vibe, with great music daily, and is open late at night. Inkwell is known for the experience, and it is certainly a great place to go and lounge and relax for a while. While Inkwell has many reasons for why it’s so popular, their coffee bar and specialty coffees take the cake. They don’t mess around when it comes to the specialty coffee! They are beautifully prepared and aesthetically pleasing to the eye. I’ve been to Inkwell a few times and usually go for the French Vanilla or Mocha Java. Most of the coffees Inkwell offers are going to be tolerable by any coffee lover, and they have incredible flavors for any palate! Inkwell comes highly recommended for by me—with it great food, terrific coffee and good music.

Eagle Specialty Coffee

In the process of writing this blog, I had to track down a decent number of coffee shops to see which ones were great. I’ve probably driven past Eagle Specialty Coffee 100 times and never knew it was there. It’s a hidden gem in Eatontown and each cup of coffee is created with precision by the baristas. I ordered a 16oz Cappuccino for $3.75. But this was no ordinary cup of coffee. It was absolutely delicious and even had a design with the foam on top. I felt like a great deal of care went into my cup of coffee. They have a lot of other amazing coffees that I have yet to try, but definitely plan to. Next time you’re driving down 35, keep your eyes open for Eagle Specialty Coffee. You won’t be disappointed.

I went around the shore to try and find some great spots for some fantastic coffee.

I couldn’t go to all of them so if I left out your favorite, be sure to tell ShoreTVNJ all about your favorite below!
